The Castle roof is being replaced over the next couple of weeks-necessary but inconvenient. Äiti emailed the company to ask about the Catio (i.e. would it be safe) and got no reply so she went ahead withher paln to just cover it. Here is our beloved Catio, with a beautfiul sunflower too.
All the pots were moved first. This also meant some
kissanminttu was harvested-the flowers removed for next year's seeds.
Next Äiti threaded some blue ropes down from Roosa's balcony, with which she can lift the coverup over the Catio roof.
Jura was unimpressed, and Pekka was far more concerned with mousewatch as he was convinced a rodent was under the barbecue.
Äiti hoisted the cover-grumbling that doing this on a windy day was not fun. She rolled upthe front part so that we werenot completely blocked off: tomorrow morning she will unroll it and secure it.
In the meantime we're in a windy tent. Äiti says tomorrow we are confined indoors until we know how disruptive it is all going to be.
